What Du Guangning is thinking about, Jiang Yu certainly couldn't know.
At this moment, he left the Seventh Dining Hall, carrying several boxes of Qingming Fruit, and walked along the campus path.
The breath of spring was already upon him.
A few days ago, the big trees were still bare, but after a spring rain, they had quietly sprouted green leaves. In the flower beds by the road, countless tender green grasses emerged from the soil, looking lush and delightful.
In the artificial lake not far away, several water birds, whose origin was unknown, floated leisurely on the water, occasionally dipping their heads to take a sip, then turning around to smooth their bright feathers. Were they perhaps critiquing their feathers for not being bright enough?
Looking at the greenery before him and breathing in the fresh and moist air after the rain, Jiang Yu felt much lighter, with even his footsteps becoming more buoyant.
Ah, spring truly is a wonderful season!
Walking all the way to the administrative building, Jiang Yu, familiar with the route, arrived at the door of Xiong Bingsheng's office and gently knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Jiang Yu pushed the door open and entered, glancing up to find only Xiong Bingsheng in the office, bent over the desk writing something.
After entering, Jiang Yu quietly closed the door. Not knowing if Xiong Bingsheng was writing something important, he didn't disturb him and gently sat down on the sofa, placing the two plastic bags he was carrying onto the coffee table.
After a moment, Xiong Bingsheng finally finished writing. He breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up, and was startled to see Jiang Yu sitting opposite him. He quickly stood up from his seat, walked around the desk, and, with a cheerful smile, said:
"Ah, Xiaojiang, you're here! Why didn't you call out to me when you came in? I've let you sit here for so long! It's all my fault, writing this document took me so long—really, the older I get, the less sharp my mind is!"
Ever since Vice Principal He had "asked" him to book a room through Jiang Yu, everyone seemed to realize how close Xiong Bingsheng and Jiang Yu were. Unintentionally, even colleagues who were not very close to him became more courteous.
Because who knows? Maybe someday they too would need to book a room at the Seventh Dining Hall for an event, and if they offended Xiong Bingsheng and weren't familiar with Jiang Yu, who could they turn to?
Moreover, with Jiang Yu and the Seventh Dining Hall gaining such fame outside, becoming the "treasure" of Jiang University, Xiong Bingsheng and Jiang Yu's close relationship could someday prove advantageous.
Everyone is smart in such situations, and of course, avoiding conflict with Xiong Bingsheng is wise.
This unplanned change made Xiong Bingsheng feel emotional, aware that it wasn't due to him, but because of Jiang Yu!
If it weren't for Jiang Yu and his Seventh Dining Hall, how could he, a straightforward bookworm, have such good popularity?
At this moment, seeing Jiang Yu brought not only happiness but also heartfelt gratitude to Xiong Bingsheng.
Even though Jiang Yu was much younger than him, he truly was a benefactor to him!
"Teacher Xiong, you're too kind. I'm just here casually to sit, really nothing important."
Jiang Yu also stood up from the sofa, smiling, and said, "I just saw you were busy and was afraid I might disturb your work."
"Oh, not at all, just some summary materials, nothing major."
Xiong Bingsheng waved his hand, about to sit on the sofa again, but suddenly stood up, shaking his head with a smile,
"Look at me, writing materials until my brain's all muddled, I even forgot to make tea. Xiaojiang, hold on a moment, I'll make you a cup of tea!"
"Teacher Xiong, no trouble at all. I just had breakfast at the dining hall, so I'll skip the tea."
Jiang Yu quickly stopped him, smiling,
"I really just came by with nothing much, since spring is here. The Seventh Dining Hall bought a batch of Qingming Grass, so I made some Qingming Fruit, and while I had some spare time, I thought to bring some over for Teacher Xiong to try."
Only then did Xiong Bingsheng notice the large bags on the coffee table; turned out they contained the Qingming Fruit Jiang Yu brought.
Xiong Bingsheng was instantly thrilled, not that he hadn't had Qingming Fruit before, but Jiang Yu's Qingming Fruit was clearly different, surely much tastier.
Thinking of the meals from Jiang Yu he had before, he couldn't help but salivate, though he still showed a bashful expression:
"Ah, Xiaojiang, you see, I've never given you anything and yet, you specially brought me Qingming Fruit. I, well, I feel a bit embarrassed!"
"Just a small snack, not worth much."
Jiang Yu waved his hand, again smiling,
"I originally thought to give some for Vice Principal He, Minister Niu, and some other leaders to try, but I'm not very familiar with them, so suddenly visiting might be inappropriate. So I just brought everything here to you instead."
Though compared to Vice Principal He and Niu Wenlin, Xiong Bingsheng might seem slow in social interactions, it doesn't mean he isn't smart. Once Jiang Yu finished speaking, he understood what it meant.
But he didn't decline, wholeheartedly agreeing,
"With how busy your dining hall is, no need for you to run around for such small matters. Let me handle it."
